Police in Dhaka, Bangladesh, have recorded the involvement of teen gangs in 635 crimes over the past seven and a half years. Disturbingly, these crimes include 39 instances of murder. Authorities report a shift in the “big brothers” leading these gangs, coinciding with an increase in their activities. The data reveals a concerning trend of escalating youth violence within the city of Dhaka. This surge in criminal activity perpetrated by juvenile gangs poses a significant challenge to public safety and law enforcement.
